BY LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Glam was back for the Golden Globes virtual, bicoastal awards night Sunday as nominees Zoomed in from around the world and, for Leslie Odom Jr., from his front porch in Los Angeles not far from the action in Beverly Hills. And they were ready, style wise, as the Globes split hosts, with Amy Poehler at the Beverly Hilton and Tina Fey at the Rain- bow Room in New York. There was nary a pair of sweats in sight. Jason Sudeikis was a glam outlier in a rainbow tie-dye hoodie from his sister’s clothing line as he picked up an award remotely, saying : “Wow, do I talk now?” The sweatshirt, which retails for $110, whipped up buzz on social media, prompting Fey to joke after Sudeikis accepted his award: “If anybody wants to know where they can get Jason Sudeikis’ hoodie, go to nbc.com/ globesfashion.” The page, please note, doesn’t exist. Backstage after the show, PHOTOS BY ASSOCIATED PRESS Sudeikis told reporters he owns Nominees in the category best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy, react as Sacha Baron Cohen, top left, is announced as the winner a multitude of hoodies but chose for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” at the Golden Globe Awards. the one emblazoned with “For- ward” on the front and “Listen + to celebrate and get dressed up Lead” on the back as fitting for for, and actually put on a dress the unusual night. to walk from my living room to “When people you care about my kitchen,” Fanning told E!. “I do cool interesting things you thought, why not?” should support them,” he said.
